Alan Garner would be proud... I guess.

I don't spend much time on Nexus these days - and that's not because I decided to ignore you guys, or something equally malicious. I'm caught up in a little gardening project and spend day after day digging, planting, and cutting. I'll be back very soon and then I'll read and view everything. EVERYTHING.
Too-de-loo!
PS: EVERYTHING.
At first I thought you were channeling some more Terry as this, "The only substantial conclusion that the wise men have ever reached was a simple sentence, written with a shaky hand by an anonymous academic: “The weather seems to be quite fond of us.” sounded very much like something he might write. Course you have your own style on it and perhaps darker than him.'
Then the tone shifted and perhaps that had to do with what you wrote about the other author whom I don't know. I am not really that well read. I have read thousands of books but all within a fairly tight area - fantasy, science fiction, non-fiction science, mythology, and psychology. Plus what my teachers forced me to read as far as "real literature" versus the fluff I tend to like outside of the last three.
I thought the dialogue was great and loved that you showed more of Alerik, the Son of Skyrim. That was great - really liked how you presented that. How the boy saw his father and Skyrim. So well done. I want to say more but not sure what as that pretty much says it all. Just very well done. There. Repeated myself anyhow.
Enjoyed the talk between him and Larks - that was also nice. Some softness, some friendship, something positive to come out of everything yet not too gushy or in your face - more subtle and Larks had to end on a note that kept him true to himself. Still its there - they are friends of sorts.
As for our Dragonborn - some insight into her but through the eyes of others which while not always accurate is still useful. We often don't see ourselves as others do after all and tends to be a shocker sometimes when you finally realize how a friend, a family member, or a co-worker actually views you.
She seemed ... different, almost herself ... as the story ended (for her part) but that just raises more questions. Why? Was it more an illusion? Yet it seemed more genuine. Something is up I think. What went on with the monks?
Another wonderful post
Thank you very much for that style remark! As you probably know, I adore sir Terry and always will, so it's really kind of you to say that my writing can resemble his from time to time. Although I think some of his pieces could be much, much darker than whatever I've ever dared to concoct - maybe because he was always brutally honest when it came to the ways the world works. But I'm going to shut up on this subject right now 'cause I could ramble on about him for hours.
You might not be familiar with Garner simply because he writes mainly for kids. I do recommend him though - it's really refreshing to read something so ascetic, and yet still dealing with fantasy.
Thank you for your comment!
I don't want to dissect the story ... this chapter was rich and I like the metaphers with the weather
How many virgins will we have to sacrifice this year before the sun will bring forth the harvest, we wonder? Plough the furrow, light the Wicker Man and pray for the rain and sun!
Fabulously written and wonderfully illustrated....reached right into my heart.
Anyway the power that your shots give off are [fill the gap with the best word], sincerely, thank you
Beautiful work again dear
It's just amazing what you upload here for fantastic stories and pictures. For me, each set of you something special, even if I do not understand anything through the language barrier
